Comprehensive Battlefront Breakdown: A Strategic Look at Every Front

Ukrainian defenders continue to adapt, inflicting severe losses on Russian and allied forces, while leveraging strategic counterattacks to maintain control and delay advances in critical regions.

Kursk: Russian forces, joined by North Korean troops, launched extensive attacks aimed at fragmenting the Ukrainian salient. Despite marginal gains, North Korean units faced catastrophic losses due to outdated tactics and lack of coordination. Ukrainian HIMARS and artillery strikes decimated their forces, resulting in over a thousand casualties without achieving key objectives.

Kupiansk: Russian advances near the Oskil River have stalled due to overextension and logistical challenges. Ukrainian forces, leveraging better supply networks, reclaimed key areas. While Russians aim to widen their spearhead southward, the situation remains relatively stable.

Toretsk: Intense urban combat continues, with Russian forces facing slow progress and heavy losses. Ukrainian defenders employ scorched-earth tactics, collapsing buildings to deny Russian troops secure positions. Toretsk remains under Ukrainian control despite relentless pressure.

Pokrovsk: As a critical logistical hub, Pokrovsk remains a focal point for Russian efforts. A Ukrainian error allowed temporary Russian gains in Shevchenko, but counterattacks halted their advance. Ukrainian forces have consolidated defenses, particularly in the south, creating formidable barriers to further encirclement attempts.

Kurakhove: The city is under increasing pressure, with Russians controlling over half of the urban area and advancing along the Sukhi Yali River. Ukrainian forces maintain key industrial zones and supply routes but face the challenge of holding ground while preparing for potential withdrawals to protect personnel.
